Cronos- sadly i could not find a tag line

In 1535 an alchemists creates the key to eternal life, The Cronos Device. After he dies nearly 200 years later the device and its secretes are lost forever, until an antique dealer Jesus Gris(obviously meant to symbolizes Jesus's Resurrection since he to comes back from the dead) finds it in a statue. Jesus accidentally opens it and it stabs him making him younger. When a dying old business man's nephew brings Jesus to his uncle he finds out it grants eternal life and he can't help but continue to use it. But what he doesn't know is that with the promise of eternal life it gives the user a thirst, a thirst for human blood.

When i first saw this movie i tonight it looked good so i bought it. what i didn't realize is it's in spanish so i don't recommend it if you don't like reading subtitles. I enjoyed the acting in this movie. It is pretty good for a b movie. The acting of Federico Luppi who plays Jesus and Tamara Shanath who plays Jesus's granddaughter Aurora is almost perfect when they are together. They seem like actual grandfather and granddaughter. But the best acting in the whole movie is Tamara's since she plays he role perfectly, i could think of no way to make her acting better. Although i enjoyed much of this movie they left some small things unanswered that i would have enjoyed explained and the acting of the old dying tycoon and his nephew could have been improved. Overall i give this movie 4/5 blood stains.
